The involvement of regional stakeholders and opportunities for knowledge-sharing throughout the project is expected to counter the challenge of transboundary haze from the root of the problem: irregular and unpredictable burning in the region. [...] Complementing previous work by RECOFTC, the Forest Service and other organizations in the region, project activities directly relate to CBFiM and are designed to respond to the unique needs and challenges of the countries, provinces and communities where the target sites are located. [...] The three main components of integrated fire management are (a) fire management—prevention, response and fire use; (b) fire ecology—ecological attributes of fire and (c) fire culture— socioeconomic necessities and impacts.2 The integrated fire management framework is important for CBFiM because it provides a holistic and collaborative approach to the complexities of fires and involves communities. [...] Despite the awareness-raising efforts and sending directives from the national to the subnational level and from subnational to local communities to enhance readiness for fire prevention and response, the provincial and district authorities, including the Provincial Agriculture and Forestry Offices and District Agriculture and Forestry Offices, do not regularly engage in activities aimed at prepar. [...] The responses and discussions from the workshops were summarized into themes, noting the existing fire management structure. When compiled, the results referenced the presence or absence of the criteria, as reported in the workshops and informant interviews.
